    Oklahoma House passes bill restricting marriage to people of faith

    Unfortunately, ridiculous laws do get passed. To be clear, I don't think this one has a snowball's chance in a microwave, but I've thought that about some pretty asinine laws before. I won't say which ones, because then we're going to go off topic when someone loses their script about it. The...

    Oklahoma House passes bill restricting marriage to people of faith

    You're right, I had forgotten the precedent set by the Supreme Court. If the bill is made into law and the challenges make it to the Supreme Court, it won't survive. If it does, I weep for my country.

    Oklahoma House passes bill restricting marriage to people of faith

    Oi. This is the problem I had with DOMA, even when I was a Christian. From the State Constitution for Oklahoma: Section I-2: Religious liberty - Polygamous or plural marriages. Perfect toleration of religious sentiment shall be secured, and no inhabitant of the State shall ever be molested in...

    I Don't Know if I'm a Deist

    I do struggle quite a bit with the belief in Jesus. I was confused as a Christian, and I'm still confused, because I haven't looked at the evidence for and against a deity and/or Jesus (or any historical religious figure). My personal experiences do tend to push me toward a belief in the divine...

    What about Hip Hop/Rap?

    Right. Ignoring the crap that has absolutely nothing to do with hip hop or rap, I can say I'm not the biggest fan of the genre. I would like more of them if I could relate to the content. As it is, Mike Shinoda and Geddy are probably the closest I get to appreciating the genre.

    I Don't Know if I'm a Deist

    The writings of Flavius Josephus, for instance. He was a Romano-Jewish scholar who was not a Christian and had no reason to support claims of Jesus. He was born in 37 AD, and wrote about Jesus with confirmation of his crucifixion and "uprising" against the Roman and Jewish leadership. Some of...

    I Don't Know if I'm a Deist

    There is historical evidence outside the Bible for Jesus. There is not historical evidence outside the Bible for all of the Bible, so I would only ascribe to that which is confirmed and/or logical for living (i.e., "do unto others...").

    Florida bans terms 'climate change', 'sustainability' & 'global warning'

    There's a lot of debate over the science because many of those shouting the loudest about it are very politically biased one way or another.

    What inspired homophobia?

    I am easily intimidated by homosexual men because of abuse I suffered as a kid. That having been said, homosexuality was demonized by the Abrahamic religions, and--at least in the United States--it was demonized because of Fundamentalist Christianity born out of Puritan roots. Up until 1976...

    Florida bans terms 'climate change', 'sustainability' & 'global warning'

    Given the political environment of Florida, this is a curious thing. In any case, bells and whistles should go off any time a three-letter organization (3LO) says, "don't say..."
